I am still trying to recover from this third c-section. Recovery is not fun. Recovery is painful and frustrating. I want to be able to do everything right now, and I just can't. I want to clean the house, do the laundry, do the dishes, mop the floors, scrub the bathtub and pick up toys. I want to be able to lift my littles and carry them around if they need it. I know that in another 3 weeks I should be pretty fully recovered, but it seems so far away!!

The recovery does seem to be going well. I don't think I have any problems. DH says the incision is looking good (hooray - I usually end up with infections). He checks it because I don't want to see it - yuk! I am not taking much medication now. I gave up the strong Motrin dose because if I didin't take it every 6 hours I got a terrible headache. Don't need that!! I will take a couple Tylenol every now and then - especially if I overdo things. Yes, I do try to do it all!

I am so happy to have this wonderful baby girl to hold and cherish, though. I would do the whole thing over again! All the pain and frustration is worth it!

Have a blessed day!!

I am amazed that you can get by with just Tylenol. I was on prescription pain meds for weeks after my last c-section and could barely walk for six weeks.

Congrats on your new little one!
